Fox in the Penalty Area

"The Madrid Pirates must have underestimated their opponent. They have been unable to enter the game state for a long time in this game. When they finally find the rhythm of the game, there is not much time left for them!"

The deafening singing echoed through the shuttle field, and the England commentator Matthew Cox, who was commentating on the game at the scene, had to raise his volume as much as possible to make his voice drown out the movement on the scene.

"Including injury time, there are fourteen minutes left in the game, and the Madrid Pirates are still trailing 0:2 in the away game! The total score is 2:2, and Manchester United is trying hard to kill them!"

"withstand!"

Juan Ramirez jumped up and competed with Manchester United forward Jorge Caceres. He successfully grabbed the spot and pushed the football away.

After landing, he clapped his hands hard and shouted to his players.

"Hold it! There is space behind them! As long as we can withstand their attack, we can beat their counterattack!"

Soon Manchester United's attack came back. This time, Argentinian winger Ramon Cantero took the ball and broke through Irazusta's defense from the wing. He tried to cross the ball, but suddenly shot into the near corner!

Fortunately, goalkeeper Hywell reacted quickly. He was originally planning to pounce in the middle, but when he saw the football being shot towards the near corner, he almost reflexively stretched his legs and barely blocked the football from the baseline with his toes!

"Wow! It's so dangerous!" He Feng exclaimed first, and then let out a long breath.

"Atletico Manchester's momentum is fully up, and Pirates of Madrid can only be beaten passively! This Atletico Manchester United is completely different from the Atletico Manchester United at Pirates Park two weeks ago! The Atletico Manchester United players are very proactive and confident today. , from the beginning of the game, the rhythm of the game was firmly in their own hands... This is why after the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has been able to successfully defend the title so far. Look at this game, it is indeed too difficult to defend the title Big!”

※※※

Hearing He Feng's words, Xie Lan snorted unhappily: "Isn't this the pirates themselves who underestimate the enemy? What does it have to do with the difficulty of defending the title!"

Hu Lixin said: "The more the defending champion, the more likely this situation will occur. After all, they are already the defending champion, which means that they were the best team in the Champions League in the past season, and they are playing well this season. , so it is inevitable that you will underestimate the enemy..."

"I think 'being proud and underestimating the enemy' is a cliché. Even a pseudo-fan like me knows not to underestimate the enemy, so why do they still underestimate the enemy?" Xie Lan asked, pointing to the TV screen.

"Players are also human beings. We are human beings and we will make mistakes. We know that some things are wrong, but we still make them. There is nothing we can do about it. Think about it, after playing at a high intensity for a season, the pressure on the players, whether it is physical or psychological, is actually They are both big. In addition, Catalonia United has been tightening their grip in the league and just wants to relax. They played so well in the first round. No matter how much the coach emphasizes, the players will definitely feel slack. It’s just a difference. .”

Hu Lixin explained patiently.

"Listening to your analysis, is it natural that the pirates were reversed and eliminated?"

"Of course not." Hu Lixin waved his hands quickly and changed the subject: "The most important thing now is not to get injured. The World Cup is coming soon. If you get injured at this time, even if it is a minor injury, even if you can recover before the World Cup starts, you will miss it. Training together affects the state..."

Hearing what her husband said, Xie Lan also frowned, showing a thoughtful expression.

It's really sensitive before the World Cup.

Among the top 32 participating teams, one after another national players have missed this World Cup due to injuries.

The biggest one is Soren Gribsch, the midfield core of the German national team. He suffered a serious injury in the league after being eliminated from the Champions League. He originally planned to receive conservative treatment in time for the World Cup. But the effect was very poor, and in the end he had no choice but to choose surgery, which also determined that he would completely miss this World Cup. His injury casts a heavy shadow over Germany's World Cup prospects.

In addition, the captain of London Bridge and the 34-year-old England national team's main center back George Birx was injured in the Champions League quarter-finals against Ruerrhein. He collided with Edman while defending, but instead sprained his ankle, causing a rupture of the ankle ligaments, and he completely said goodbye to the World Cup.

In fact, this happens before every World Cup.

He is usually fine, but when it comes to the World Cup, he suddenly gets injured. It's almost like some kind of metaphysics.

For example, Maxi Carey, the biggest player in the last World Cup, was missing due to injury.

Thinking about it this way, Xie Lan also feels that whether he can defend the Champions League is not the most important thing. With the World Cup opening still two months away, the most important thing is not to get injured and stay healthy.

The Champions League is gone this season, but we can continue to work hard next season.

But if there is no World Cup this year, we will have to wait another four years!

Xie Lan's originally agitated mood calmed down. Looking at the fierce competition on the field, the focus of attention has shifted from the outcome of the game to her son's health.

Hu Lai collided with Manchester Athletic center back Sam Hobson and fell to the ground. Sheeran's body twitched involuntarily on the sofa.

The game entered the final ten minutes, and Parotti played his last card to prepare for overtime.

He replaced the exhausted Irazusta with right back Radu Grigore. This was a matchup substitution, mainly to avoid his right defense in the thirty minutes of overtime. Defeated by Manchester United.

After the substitutions, Parotti stood on the sidelines and watched the ball quietly.

Even though his opponent was attacking very hard now, he was actually not too panicked.

Because the total score was 2:2, it was just thirty minutes of overtime, and his team was not really pushed to the edge of the cliff yet.

On the other hand, there is a hidden danger in the impressive Manchester Athletic - if their indiscriminate bombardment can be resisted by the Madrid Pirates, then when the game enters overtime, it will definitely have an impact on the morale of the Manchester Athletic players...

So the key is to keep a calm mind.

The noise in the stands could almost lift the roof of the shuttle field. The Italian coach stood in front of the coaching bench, but his face was calm, even a little... dull.

And Manchester Athletic head coach Jairo Gutierrez, who was in front of the home team's coaching bench next door, seemed very excited. He kept walking up and down the sidelines, yelling and waving his arms vigorously from time to time towards the court.

The two head coaches were silent and moving, forming a sharp contrast.

Under the command of Gutierrez and the cheers of the home team fans at the scene.

Manchester United's attack is like a rising tide, wave after wave, constantly impacting the Madrid Pirates' defense.

When they attacked the fiercest, goalkeeper Ze Correa almost stood in the center circle...

It seemed that Manchester United really wanted to settle the battle in the ninety minutes of the game.

In the 84th minute, Manchester United launched another attack.

Ramon Cantero crossed from the wing and found striker Jorge Cáceres in the center.

But the football was jumped and pushed out by Danny Drew.

The football flew out of the penalty area.

Juan Ramirez rushed towards the football, then jumped up and fought desperately for the top.

He got the ball to Vukovic ahead of Manchester United midfielder Joao Dias.

After receiving the ball, the Serbian international used the outside instep of his right foot to directly send a long diagonal pass!

The football drew a clear line in the air, spanned more than thirty meters of the stadium space, and flew in front of Kamara who was running wildly!

The cheers in the stands of the shuttle field instantly switched to screams and boos!

Kamara, who caught up with the football, did not stop the ball. He directly slashed the football towards the penalty area!

In this way, he simply shook away the Manchester Athletic center back William Nelson who was flying to destroy the ball.

The booing was so loud that no other sound could be heard at all!

Matthew Cox exclaimed: "Kamara!! Nelson made a defensive mistake! How could he make the tackle?!"

The rest became extremely simple for Kamara who entered the penalty area:

As a result of his successful breakthrough, goalkeeper Ze Correa moved into the front post, while center back Sam Hobson also came to cover.

The middle lane is completely empty!

So he passed an inverted triangle!

Pass behind Hobson, there is a huge gap near the penalty spot!

“HUUUUUUU—!!”

Hu Lai rushed forward, turned his ankle sideways, and pushed forward against the rolling football!

A very unpretentious kick and the football flew into the goal!

Although the Portuguese goalkeeper Ze Correa of ​​Manchester United had already turned over and rushed back, he was still beyond his reach and failed to touch the ball. He could only watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding!

"Oh oh oh oh oh! Hu Lai! Hu Lai!! The goal in the 84th minute! In this game, the Madrid Pirates fell behind Atletico Manchester City after 1:2, but the total score was 3:2 ahead!"

“HUUUUUUU—GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!”

After the narrator Sanchez yelled this sentence, Sylvia heard Mellie sighing from beside her.

She turned around and saw Melly lying on the back of the sofa.

There was no frown on his face, but he was looking at the screen calmly.

She asked cautiously: "Are you a little disappointed?"

Melly looked at her and asked, "How could that happen?"

"He scored a goal, he may go to the semi-finals..."

"After the game against Catalonia, Kabangca found me." Meili said something that had nothing to do with the current matter.

Sylvia also knew this.

At that time, the two people covered their mouths during the whole communication, and the media reporters wanted to know what the two of them talked about.

Because as "enemies" that are known to be difficult to deal with, there is very little communication between the two of them.

But in the post-match interview, neither Meili nor Kabangka answered this question.

Seeing that Melly didn't want to talk, Sylvia naturally never asked.

Unexpectedly, Melly took the initiative to talk about this topic now.

So she looked at Mellie, waiting for him to continue.

As expected, Merry continued:

"He made me learn to accept failure and accept the fact that I am not as good as Hu at the moment. I thought he was mocking me at the time."

"this……"

Considering the relationship between the two of them, Sylvia thought it was normal for Melly to think so.

But unexpectedly, Melly said next:

"Now I think he was right."
